Moby and Samples (Play)

[@underneonloneliness2]

When I was a kid I thought moby sang all the samples. I didn't understand what a sample was back then.

[@FMZ101]

Same!

[@CALJ154]

same

[@thephoenix3155]

He sings on “Porcelain”, “South Side”, “Machete”, “If Things Were Perfect” and “The Sky is Broken”. He also sings on “Extreme Ways”, but that’s on a different album.

[@WhatSmada]

same

[@ramsesstafford4640]

Ya'll Must Be Millennials and Generation Z babies to think he sang all that. This is not a diss so if I'm wrong I'm wrong. I've never thought Moby was THAT talented. 😂

[@samguberman2288]

Play is an astonishing album, sounding new and old at the same time, Moby is such a talented guy.

[@TheSpidermec]

this mixture and assembly of samples are sublime

[@thephoenix3155]

This album is fine art, it is purely impeccable!

[@anonimousse7435]

The musicians performing on the records are sublime... I watched an interview where Moby doesn't even credit Ernest Gold in writing "Porcelain" Dude, the composers deserve credit for their compositions and performances.

[@dsdiveryt]

you would love since i left you by the avalanches lol

[@TheSpidermec]

[@dsdiveryt]

a 95% sample based album

[@Vinicius-bu6gb]

Sampling is an art the most important thing is not the sample but what you put around it moby has always been good at creating layers

[@laurabrevitz3944]

Man, I loved this album.

[@CALJ154]

On "Why Does My Heart Fell So Bad?", the drum sample's speed is slowed down (Both tempo and pitch). On "Bodyrock", guitar riff is original and additional vocals sung by Nikki D. On "If Things Were Perfect", the real sample appears at mark 2:18 of "Hospital Prelude of Love Theme". On "Porcelain", the vocal sample has yet to be found ("Ay... ay ... ay.. woman...").

Ey ey woman is Pilar Basso.

[@Jannik152]

​@@devanvanderberg7345It's not, the sample was found this year.

Amazing compilation. Perfect insight into the Moby's workflow.

Reverse to make a sample...genius

[@danieldawson-smith2780]

one guy, many samples. this guy is a musical genius

[@Spike1885]

thank you for this break down must have been pretty difficult, if not then it's still amazing now i can search for these songs individually too and gain a new found love for them, since they were sampled. same with the rest of the ones you've uploaded thank you for opening my eyes , ears ect to things new to me.

[@lincolnfabio9216]

Thank you so much for this video! This record has so many samples that it's basically a rap record

[@itzdm0r3]

Other genres of electronic based music use samples too, not just rap records.

[@johndreibelbis1354]

0:16 I recognize this song from the movie Holes.

[@StuDioRecordings]

Quando comecei a ouvir Moby com mais interesse foi em 1998 já alguém andava a fazer chill out com samplagem de músicas antigas todos os artistas fazem isso, também eu faço música, de destacar Robert Myles que lançou a Dream Music, Enigma o Chill Out e música de yoga com Moby com o som de destaque de que é conhecido não o que seria antes mas a abrir do ambiente techno uma nova escolha um novo motivo de audiência e querer participar de todos grandes êxitos, como deixei de fazer já não acompanho os verdadeiros trabalhos já é distribuido pelas audiências, no dia que ouvi Find my Baby no dia seguinte fui comprar o CD Play de Moby de 1999 mesmo com pouco dinheiro na altura do qual sempre o guardo e memorizou toda a atmosfera e o fiz ouvir várias vezes.

[@arte0021]

So some of the guitar and bass parts on the album are actually played by Moby himself, like the guitars in Find My baby and Bodyrock and the bassline from If Things Were Perfect?

[@praetorian7279]

Really love this guy!!!

[@FMZ101]

Oh wow @ Porcelain!

[@tosicz]

Mind-blowing!

[@Jannik152]

Good stuff!

[@ramsesstafford4640]

This dude steals/samples a lot of soulful black artists because he knows how valuable the sound is. I'm not shocked because it's a priceless sound.

[@Apg002]

After watching this, I’m conflicted. I think he made something beautiful and honest. But I don’t love that he, as a white guy, got rich off of Black labor.

[@ramsesstafford4640]

@Apg002 I never said it wasn't beautiful I was just stating the facts of how I'm sure he knew these were great samples of soulful down south Black Americans.

[@CosmicD]

In porcelain, you also have a few voice samples, wonder what they are :)

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

This was one of the best albums for samples,but i doubt doubt anyone could afford Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique samples now. Changed music after License To Ill!

but "these open doors" is obviously sung by a woman, where does that come from?

[@TheAmarok87]

It's from the same song, that vocal sample is pitched up.

[@BrazilianDaftPunkFan]

Ah yes "arstist"

[@leonflpqzhz4765]

Well in that case then daftpunk is also just an "artist"

there's no way you're a DAFT PUNK FAN complaining about sampling??? seriously??? have you seen daft punk??

So this is considered brilliant? People kept talking about PLAY and here are samples from it. Hmmmm....

[@otsu3011]

A lot of artist do samples

You can do samples and be brilliant. It’s possible. Don’t like it, click on another video.

[@rr7firefly]

@@jessicaabbott10 I love all of the authentic black music. A lot.

[@rr7firefly]

@@誰かの捨て垢-r4e Thank you for your opinion. I will agree to disagree with you. Music is one of those areas where people have very different aptitudes and tastes. Much of that comes from early music education and what kind of music was played in the home in one's early years of development.

[@rr7firefly]

@@誰かの捨て垢-r4e Are you saying Moby is the ONLY one?

[@julianreverse]

First: Learn what a saple is. 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂Most of these were covers or interpretations, but no samples.

[@evacarter4904]

Moby n' a jamais rien crée. Du samples et du samples. A vomir. Sur des artistes qui sont décédés. Même pas il s' est emmerdé à remixé. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@highdrangea790]

you could say that, if you're an absolute child. you should be respecting moby wanting to bring these artists to a younger generation and in the new style

[@thephoenix3155]

No one cares about your rubbish opinion!

[@postminchoppa]

Could say the same thing about every author, just taking words out of the dictionary and remixing and layering them ... pathetic

[@SetheMan]

​@highdrangea790 very true. Moby helps bring artists from the past especially those who were underrepresented back then (seeing how a lot of his samples come from African American/Black artists).
